Subway Scenes on Screen | New York City News
Description
Step into the silver screen and the concrete jungle at NYC in Transit, a brand-new film festival celebrating the subway’s cinematic legacy. Running Tuesdays through fall at the Film Forum, this event marks the 50th anniversary of the New York Transit Museum and spotlights classics like The French Connection, The Warriors, and Pelham One Two Three — where trains, stations, and platforms have fueled romance, suspense, and pure Hollywood magic since 1904. Kick off with Harold Lloyd’s silent comedy Speedy (1928), featuring a surprise cameo from Babe Ruth — think Beatles meets Ali, but on rails. Plus, dive into rare archival subway films and a special pre-show deep dive on Pelham’s gritty realism. Don’t miss the ride.
